I keep telling my wife a "couple" can mean three, but she's not buying it.

Well.... I told my wife I only had a handful of something recently (vintage mayan weavings), and she discovered a 'handful' was about 700. That ended up being a fairly expensive evening out. I spent about USD$28 for us and the kids. Normally, dinner costs about 30-50 cents if I eat at home, and maybe a buck and a half or two bucks if I eat out.

 My thoughts exactly. That 1804 looks as if it was in the ground a while. I like it. |

I don't think the 1834 is cleaned. There are a lot of 1834/35 Half Cents out there in high grade, with mint red, from an old hoard. Are there other signs of cleaning on this coin that someone could point out? |

There are some half and large cents with the original mint red but every one that I can recall seeing were all uncirculated and usually with a grade of MS-63 or higher. All of the original circulated half and large cents that I can recall seeing were completely brown. There may be a circulated half or large cent out there that has some original red but it's not very likely. If there is one, it will probably be a high AU with only a small amount. The 1834 Half Cent has a color that looks unnatural to me and doesn't have the reddish orange color that I often see on RB and RD copper. The reverse is slightly splotchy. Other than that and the color, I don't really see any other signs of cleaning. For me, it was the color that indicated cleaning. |
